Hi all,
Whenever the news broke, my husband yelled out from his cave, " Angelina is filing for divorce from Brad".
I screamed back, "oh good. Now she's free."
That's because my husband has a crush on her, well, he did for years and it was funny.
What is ensuing is not funny. I would like you to go back and re-read or browse my post from last week.
The one about how well do we really know anyone.
The only point I'm going to make is about how gossip or rumor is something that can kill.
High school students have committed suicide because being tormented on Facebook. Rumors spread about them hurt so deeply they didn't want to live.
Now, an anonymous tip has led to an investigation of Pitt alleging child abuse.
I was never in their presence. I'm guessing you weren't either.
But now, we have doubt. Could Brad have done these bad things? Does he hit children? Or as we now call it, abuse them?
I hope the police are able to do an actual investigation because now we don't know.
Regardless of what the results are, the seeds of doubt have been planted and will always be there.
AND THIS IS WHY WE SHOULD NEVER, EVER, EVER SAY ANYTHING ABOUT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING. THAT HOLDS TRUE, SOMETIMES EVEN IF WE KNOW IT TO BE A FACT. WE MAY NOT LIKE SOMEONE, BUT TO RUIN A LIFE WITH A RUMOR CAN BE LIKE PULLING THE TRIGGER ON A GUN.
thanks for reading.
